A Game You Just Don't Want To End!
The Bad: Online play isnt the best, The game is over pretty quickly
From the go this game is highly enjoyable, you are plunged into big gun fights and using powers of darkness soon in the game. Basically in this game you are trying to find your uncle paulie who has but a bounty on your head, but after you die (the first time) you are granted the powers of darkness and you begin to fight that too. The Graphics look great, from the guns to the demons coming out of you, it all looks very impressive.
The voice acting is great and well pulled off, the voices really suit the character and give the game a more realistic feel.
There are 4 darkness powers in total; Creeping Dark, Demon Arm, Darkness Guns and Black hole. Creeping dark is very cool, you control a worm like creature and can sneak up on enemies and bite their faces off and eat their hearts (which never gets old). Demon Arm is basically a spike that comes out of you and can move cars and spear people, this is great fun when you are one on one with an enemy. The darkness guns arent that great, their not that strong and dont feel that special, theres one thats a pistol and another that shoots a shockwave, at close ranger this is powerful but if the enemy is far away the pistol is kinda lame. Finally the black hole is a hole you summon that sucks everything around into it, this is pretty cool and can get rid of clusters of enemies quickly.
There is a great variety of missions in the game and a few side missions that are fun to carry out, the levels are alot of fun to play and theres never a shortage of enemies to slaughter
There is a good amount of weapons in the game, from the basic 9mm to the combat shotgun, great fun to use and evem more fun to use execution moves.
The game is great fun to play and when youve finished it you are left wanting more and feel the need to play through it again. The storyline is great and you can get really into it, it makes killing the bad guys all that more fun.
Sadly there is 2 flaws to this game, the first is the online play, this kinda feels like its just thrown in for the sake of having online multiplayer, the pick ups look cool and the guns remain fun to use but sadly there is great host advantage which can spoil the game.
The game also only has 4 parts, and in these 4 parts your just bouncing back between New York and World War After life kind of place with zombie natzis, personally i didnt ind the war parts that great and i thought they kinda spoilt the game, and its a shame there wasnt more missions in the game, but as i said, there is replay value.
In conclusion this is a great game and a must have for any FPS fan.
